it wasn't always obvious in 2018 an app called tick tock came from nowhere back then tic toc seemed like just another mindless app for teens where teens and creeps would lip-sync to insipid drug-like songs but in a matter of weeks something changed youtubers commentators the media tick tock became the new gold rush to me the app looks ugly with a logo that didn't look quite right but i didn't want to be out of touch and me being curious i eventually caved and downloaded it and just like that i was hooked my mornings would be taken up by 30 second videos my evening stolen by the buffet of dopamine i couldn't put it down the endless scoring the constant dopamine heads i had no control i'd look around me parties gatherings cafes everyone was watching tick tock i'd go online to find tick-tock reaction videos on trending i'd be bombarded by tick-tock hats wherever i went i'd walk around my city to see tick-tock logos graffiti as tick-tock dances everywhere this was revolutionary tuk-tuk had achieved the impossible tit-took had taken over the world no one could escape its secret formula instant entertainment constant doping unlimited content nothing could compete tick tock was perfect little did i know we were walking into a buzzsaw after hours of extensive research i fell down a tick tock rabbit hole and the further i went down this rabbit hole the more horrifying things became as what i'm telling you today has been ignored by almost all of the media almost all of the influences and all of the corporate elites and at the same time governments around the world are beginning to understand the true scope of what's going on so let this video be a warning to everyone who's downloaded this insidious app and join me as we cover the raw and unfiltered truth behind tick tock a question do you never want to be bored again do you want fame money to not feel left out for success to come sooner this is how it begins through tapping into your innate biological desires tiktok has been able to achieve 3 billion downloads but behind our addiction to this app is something sinister because on the back of your constant scrolling and chasing of dopamine someone has transformed a lip syncing up for teens into the greatest cyber threat in human history so the question is who well to answer this we need to go back to 2012. back in 2012 vine was the closest thing you'd get to tiktok and whilst vine was kind of big most people phoned for facebook instagram and youtube because in this time it seemed like silicon valley was on the verge of something great unprecedented to the size of change we were so caught up with our own creations that we never gave china a second thought but back in beijing something was bubbling under the surface a creature called by dance now by dance wasn't just any old tech startup it was a startup directed by a man named zangie ming and it was also a startup that was littered with chinese officials zhang's first movement by dance was to create a news platform called headlines but rather than this being any old news platform that pays for editors and reporters fight dance was putting their money into creating the most powerful advanced ai technology imaginable an ai system more advanced than anything seen before it this was no accident in this time the chinese government had a strong desire to make ai a priority in the race for global tech dominance but why was china so obsessed with ai why was the chinese government so involved with working with this unknown tech company to answer this let's take a quick look at what bite dancers ai technology was capable on this new site there wouldn't be a curated feed of editors controlling the flow of information headlines instead use specially made ai algorithms to select and push the news robotically with the company never having to hire a single reporter or editor to test this highly developed ai system by dance released the out of the chinese market and almost immediately the algorithm worked its magic in a matter of months headlines became extremely popular in china with the site gaining 10 million users in just three months there was only one issue all content that wasn't aligned with the government's core socialist values would be a legal offence which meant there would have to be at least one editor that's why baidan has been so fast to publish a statement thanking the state for its supervision making bite dance the first ever ai generator propaganda machine it was the embryonic site for much darker things to come [Music] it's 2016 and the chinese government is inching towards technological dominance but if they were going to overtake silicon valley they would need to expand their ai technology across the globe because back in the mainland ai proved to be an incredibly effective tool for controlling the population they're constantly monitored by facial recognition cameras that are able to instantly put a face to a name now the chinese are also ranked given a mark out of a possible 950 points i think being ranked is a good thing a society has to have rules it forces us to be well behaved it may seem scary but it's just like that here we're used to it and anyway we don't have a choice there's a simple reason for this by using algorithms the chinese government can connect all these data points from everything you do using your travel records friends acquaintances reading habits and purchases all to anticipate any political resistance it's through these sorts of social credit scores and advanced ai technology that the chinese government has gained a firm grip over 1. 3 billion people but what if china could use such technology outside of its own borders what if china could move away from surveilling their own country to surveilling the globe if they could china would become invincible it was in this time that the chinese president xi jinping was making big efforts to grow china's cultural power which is why gpp announced that china needs to increase its soft power to give the world a good chinese narrative and better communicate china's messages to the world we have made significant advances on theoretical and cultural fronts g-shipping announced that quote we should increase china's soft power give a good chinese narrative and better communicate china's messages to the world and this is where america's had the upper hand for decades through america's spread of culture and ideology america has been able to maintain its global influence and in recent years this has been catalyzed by one thing silicon valley so how could chinese tech companies possibly compete with silicon valley where a tiny group of billion dollar companies have almost monopolized the entire industry if by duns were going to have any chance of competing they would first need to create something groundbreaking something so advanced so popular so addictive that people would have no choice but to download it an app to control the hearts and minds of the global population to take on such an enormous task china would need to take this one step at a time the first step was for chinese tech companies like buy dance and tencent to start buying huge shares in social media sites sites like reddit discord and snapchats because this allowed companies like baidance to have a key role in company policy as a majority shareholder but of course buying shares in companies wasn't going to be enough how could china create an app so addicting that it would out-compete every single social media site to figure this out they needed to test this technology in their own back door so by dance's new venture would be with an app called doyen or in other words the chinese version of tiktok baidance tested out dojin to make sure the technology would be effective enough and in less than a year dojon took over china gaining enormous popularity with 1 in 10 chinese people having downloaded the app in less than a year all because of this specially developed ai technology it was now time for by dance to go global the next step for bike dance was a sophisticated marketing campaign spending three million dollars a day in marketing alone just in the american markets by dance would then get celebrities to join in it would saturate the media and advertising world you'd even see the nba starting a multi-year partnership with tiktok and with the tick tock logo being stamped on every exported video you'd then see this marketing begin to snowball you'd see all these influences on youtube shorts and instagram posting their tech talk videos you see celebrities promoting their garbage on tick tock but marketing alone wasn't enough so the next step for tick tock's growth was through the acquisition process in this time by dance noticed that fellow chinese company musically was getting a foothold in the psyche of generation z so rather than these companies trying to outcompete each other for ultimately the same goal tiktok bought off musically for 900 million dollars this allowed ticktock to utilize musicslee's core selling points the ability to go viral musically provided a platform with an algorithm that rewards content above all else anyone could post some content and go viral the next day because of that gen z rushed to it alert by the prospects of fame attention and quick dopamine hits using its ai technology to learn how to create the most addictive user interface possible there are several core psychological techniques used to addict you the first is short videos in and of themselves there may be 15 seconds or something like that 15 20 seconds they're short videos and so it's just that quick you know it's almost like a little tasting menu of fabulous you know you're trying this and trying that the reason for take tock's initial success is that they took the knowledge companies learned from making catchy advertisements advertisers spend millions gathering your attention for up to 30 seconds and often times whether you like the advert or not you'll find they're easily digestible so tick tock would use this video design but instead of paying millions to make these videos tick tock's own users would automatically use all their creativity and talent to garner some hand to vulnerability then the most addicting videos made are rewarded favorably for doing so once people catch on to which engagement tactics work these videos are then copied over and over again the most catchy songs are replicated over and over creating the cycle of people who are addicted to chasing vulnerability these creators then feed the masses own addiction to these dopamine sucking videos but of course not all of these videos can be addictive and that's the point because one of the key social engineering tactics tick tock uses is called intermittent reinforcements i spoke about this tactic in my previous video on tick tock but basically intermittent reinforcement is the reason why casinos are so addictive because by not winning every time on the slot machine you're always excited for the next hit i mentioned in this last video on tick tock that when you expect a reward after a certain action you tend to work less for it yet when the timing of the reward or the certainty we'll get at all is unpredictable we tend to repeat that behavior with even more enthusiasm and so in the case of tick tock a video has to capture users attention very quickly to cause them to watch the whole thing if the video doesn't catch your attention within a couple of seconds it's swiping onto the next one and so after countless videos fail to give you that doping rush you'll finally find that jam the fact that you're watching this video means you are energetically aligned with me and aquafarians but you may know them as mermaids and there are real consequences to this tick tock's design is neurologically damaging researchers are only just beginning to understand this since generation z's infatuation with tick tock our attention spans have dropped to the lowest levels in recorded history with our attention spans becoming reduced to that of a goldfish and it doesn't even stop there the vertical scroll which is what you have on facebook for example you're scrolling up uh on the news feed but what this does is if you stop on the video and you like that video you now it will res it'll restart that video so in a sense you've got a horizontal scroll going on pleasurable content and you also have a vertical scroll point and once the pleasure begins to dry up you continue scrolling and the pattern repeats itself leaving you wondering where the last few hours went and even the small stuff like where the likes and comments icons are is purposely designed so that you can't stop wasting your time on this mindless app and when you go into tiktok you'll see what i mean the likes comments share and profile buttons are on top of each other this placement makes it the most accessible for users to click on these icons but why is this important well this layout may only be saving the user microseconds at the time but in an app that runs on quick spurts of attention these fractions of a second hold significant weight when you're browsing social media on your phone the screen you're using is very small as a result every little inch of that screen is immensely important since any little distraction or element that takes away from the content at hand has the potential to drive the user away wasting screen space is the cardinal sim when it comes to keeping users in that entertainment high and so with this combination of musically and addictive user design and attention sucking short videos tick tock has been able to feast on a generation's goldfish attention span allowing tiktok to take over the world because in just three months after its launch title gained 30 million users but the real question is how could by dance justify spending almost a billion dollars on an app that only sells ads and emojis i mean tick tock wants you to think that hosting a few ads and selling emojis is enough to become a multi-billing company but to anyone looking under the surface you realize this is far from the truth to understand where the real money is we first need to understand the secrets behind the tech talk formula [Music] if china wanted ticktor to take over the globe tiktok would need to tap into the human mind not only through social engineering tactics but also through their users data because this is where the real money behind tiktok lies this is why tick tock is now considered a cyber threat and once again it all comes back to the tip talk algorithm unlike facebook netflix spotify and youtube tiktok's algorithm goes one step further okay has anyone else noticed that your for you page has been a little too accurate lately it hasn't been things that i'll google or i talk about it's been thoughts tic-tac knows everything about us but how does take talk know which videos will addict you well this always starts to become clear as soon as you begin reading textbooks privacy page a privacy page that literally admits to collecting as much data from you as possible and what kind of data is tick-tock collecting as it runs on our phones a heck of a lot more than you would think images of course that users post but tick-tock also collects information about the messages that you send about the apps that you use the other apps on your phone it collects the sites that you visit it collects your search history it collects your keystrokes it collects your location data it stores all of this and maybe lots lots more and so using all of this data take talk understands you better than you understand yourself it predicts your future behavior learns at every second what you want and what you will do and no this isn't like google or facebook stealing your data and sending off to advertisers this information is being used to tap into your biological hardwiring and most importantly to fund china's openly stated goal of world domination now this may sound a little extreme it may sound exaggerated but i promise you it's anything but chinese president xi jinping has a dream a chinese dream of global dominance [Music] [Music] with this has come some new laws laws that coincide directly with tick tock since china adopted the national intelligence law in 2017 all chinese citizens and companies have been under a legal obligation to help the government gather intelligence whilst also keeping any corporation with the government a secret and we also know that under chinese law tick tock by dance the parent is required to share data with the chinese communist party required required to under chinese law that's not a matter of speculation that's in the law and it is required under chinese law to share user data with beijing and tiktok has admitted that it has sent user data to china and so it takes stock collecting so much user data the fact that tick tock is half run by the chinese government and now with the passing of this new law tech talk is beyond problematic which is why several countries have been quick to ban tick tock tick tock along with 223 other chinese applications were banned by india the indian government has banned dozens of chinese-owned apps over apparent security concerns now the list includes the messaging service wechat and the wildly popular video platform tick-tock the indian government claimed this was because they were damaging to india's sovereignty integrity defense security and public order and this is why trump signed an order to ban tick-tock in the order trump said that there is credible evidence that leads him to believe that bite dance might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the united states but with america's heat of politics joe biden could let trump have this legal victory and revoke trump's ban on tick tock although it wouldn't take long for biden to realize this was a huge mistake he literally had to admit later on that tick tock is quote a matter of genuine concern in addition to this militaries around the world of ban tiktok on all personal devices since our last hearing on this subject the pentagon the department of state the department of homeland security and the tsa have all banned their employees and service members from using tick tock on government devices in fact the pentagon even went so far as to say that employees should have their children uninstall tick tock from their personal devices but you may be asking why does this matter why is tick tock labeled a national security threat why are governments around the world beginning to think that tick tock is the biggest cyber threat of the modern era well stick with me here because we're gonna need to radically change the way you've been seeing tick tock the day is coming when the politicians realize that these social media platforms are picking the next president the next congressman they're literally picking this is where true power in the modern day lies because the people who control the algorithms are the people rewiring your brain they are controlling the spread of information they program the culture and with tick tock now being the most downloaded app for several consecutive years the results are becoming apparent i vaccinated caffeinated and freshly masturbated on the chinese version of two talk all videos seen as degenerate by the chinese government are actively removed and yet at the same time the algorithm promotes videos of hard-working everyday people sharing their life and work accomplishments as you could expect these videos are generally wholesome obese and positive but there being a literal section on the chinese tick tock called positive energy to promote the communist party but in the west tiktok promotes the exact opposite on our version of tick tock we're bombarded with endless and sipped videos of girls shaking their ass to music where we become obedient placid consumers slumped open in front of screens and this trend couldn't be better summed up with the rise of only fans in recent years the rise of only fans has been catalyzed by the wave of tick tock videos of only fans models alluring desperate atomized lonely simps to fork over the hard-earned cash for a virtual girlfriend experience top only fans creators have spoken out about how tick-tock has enabled them to become these hyper-affluent online stars so today we are going to be going over how you can use tic toc to get only fan songs okay i think we're all like the main people and only fans are roughly earning the same i think at the moment it's like a male a month this phenomenon wouldn't be happening anywhere near as quickly if not for tick tock where tick tock is catalyzing this wave of desperate sims to hand over the money to these people who influenced their everyday lives and this became very apparent when a wall street journal investigation on tick tock found that when you said you were 13 years old and searched for only fans on the app the algorithm would bombard you with videos about adult entertainment and drugs the power title yields over the younger generations is becoming more and more apparent people are starting to see that through tic tocs ai technology and sophisticated algorithms tick tock is able to create trends that radically influence the lives of so many in generation z and what's scary is that so many of ticktock's core audience are barely even adults tick tock users are being influenced into emulating these trends that are highly toxic and polluting to society but of course these trends are manifesting things far worse than degenerate behavior the spread of political disinformation and infiltration of chinese propaganda is now a serious concern to all of us this first became apparent in the western version of tiktok when pro hong kong posts anti-ccp posts pro-tibet content and anything spreading awareness of the persecution of weakened muslims was all removed and this concern takes a further serious turn in light of recent reports that xenu data which has reported links to the chinese military and intelligence networks has collected personal details of about 2.
4 million people outside of china with pretty much all of this data being sourced from toktok the former editor of the hong kong economic journal wrote in the column that tick-tock is reaching deep into offices and homes shaping how americans understand real world events he went on to explain that while china's move to establish physical footholds around the world was easy enough to recognize china's quote soft power ambitions have been much less noticed until recently where china is using highly developed ai technology and powerful algorithms to erode free speech and western culture it's for this reason why bite dance has pledged to hire 10 000 sensors to identify and block anti-government content now i already know that some of you will think i'm fear-mongering but when you look into china's history and current political motives you start to realize how daunting the situation truly is china is also notorious for using its big tech companies to track and predict the behavior of its own citizens as seen in this 60 minutes report from last year china's stated goal is to become the world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030. senator hawley fears china is doing the same thing here just last february the department of justice charged four chinese military hackers with stealing records from the credit reporting agency equifax affecting 145 million americans almost half the country china has been caught hacking the second largest american health insurer the agency that stores information about all government employees even records from the marriott hotel chain holly says tick tock is just the friendly face of chinese data harvesting so what would the chinese communist party do with all this information build bill dossiers build files on every american who they can get their hands on we could ask the same question about the equifax breach why would the chinese government be interested in in the financial history of hundreds of millions of americans what are they going to do with that well clearly they thought it was very very useful but when you look at gigi pink's admiration for mao it all begins to make sense during the communist revolution mao became infamous for conquering the countryside to capture the cities this method was used not only for mao's communist revolution but also for mao's dream of world domination where the world's most developed countries were seen as the cities and the world's less developed countries were the countryside this is why in recent years china has gained a strong foothold across africa and the middle east and now the next frontier is to gain a strong foothold in the global culture because if you can control the culture you control the population and as jiji being declared it is time to quote dare to draw the shining sword so while the west becomes addicted to tick tock where the west is their attention spans produces that of a goldfish but people can't go five minutes without checking their phone absorbed by tick-tock degeneracy where we are having our brains literally rewired china is now training their youth to prepare for war [Music] women and today this process has been catalyzed by ggp's rejuvenation of the nation project which entails the banning of a feminist man on tv banning excessive video game usage teaching children gc ping school of thought teaching children how to use military equipment and having schools have distinct masculine and feminine school curriculums and today it is now mandatory for chinese students to read the art of war and as you'd expect this has come with rampant military propaganda [Music] [Music] so while the west is swung by visual diarrhea of grotesque tick tock videos tick tock videos promoting crime degeneracy only fans in the ccp the chinese are trained to become stark with a warlike spirit inoculated to degeneracy this stark contrast between the chinese version of tito canars starts to highlight how effective tiktok's ai technology is in manipulating the masses psychological weapons like tick tock have been used throughout history from the persians using cats as a psychological tactic against the ancient egyptians to alexander the great enforcing greek culture against his opponents to the british and using their global media networks to control the narrative of world war one these psychological experiments have always been hidden away and more often than not slip by under the public's noses but now in our current cold war these tactics have become more and more advanced and right now the most dangerous psychological weapon we face is tick tock according to us military analysis attacking the enemy's psyche is a key part of china's military strategy the chinese stratagems established by sun tzu and the art of war was the foundation for this form of warfare so it shouldn't be any surprise why the art of war is mandatory reading but then this all begs the question why is china going to all of this effort all the government employees all the high-tech algorithms all the social engineering all the spying why is china so desperate to influence western culture well like all psychological weapons there's only one reason for their usage to destroy the enemy [Music] before i began making this video tick tock's growth was never obvious take took seemed like an anomaly because somehow in just a matter of months i went from never knowing tick tock to see my friends family and self all become enveloped by its algorithm back then we were in blissful ignorance ignorant to a force that has been brewing for decades a brew now reaching its boiling point since the cold war the idea of world war iii was always thrown around throughout this time civil wars skirmishes propaganda all created the sense of uncertainty but this feeling was never existential our enemies were always the underdogs they were poorer with lower grade equipment they had no influence on mainstream culture they were just this hidden mysterious force far from the clutches of regular life and when this tense time finally came to a close in 1991 people felt liberated like the threat of world war 3 was really just a fantasy after all it was something to talk about for fun but never an idea to be taken too seriously but yes there were threats from the middle east russia and north korea but it was never anything we couldn't handle at the same time we fueled china's growth we bought their cheap products their materials and their lies in just a matter of decades china went from being a third world country with a gdp of 90 billion to having a gdp of 12 trillion dollars a number now fast overtaking the united states this growth has never been seen before in history admittedly we knew this was coming but none of us had any real reason to be concerned at least we didn't think that was china's just that place we make our iphones we told ourselves so over the years we shipped off our entire economy to china banking moguls on wall street propped up the chinese economy with billions in investments elected officials in the uk did their part by selling out the country's core infrastructure and national energy grid to china talking heads in washington did their parts by telling the public that the real threat to the west was putin and his army of macedonian troll farms and thus we bought into china's surveillance technology and downloaded tech talk on mass because we were in our own little bubble our main concern was celebrities and cheap hedonistic pursuits but like any bubble there was always a bust and our bus came in 2020 from the very beginning it was never about tick tock tick tock is just a means to an end a tool and an operation all the tick tock dances tick tock ads all the lip syncing it was a facade for something sinister something greater something known as the 2049 plan now what does this entail well as you can imagine it's not something to be taken lightheartedly china's push for world domination has been government policy for the last 50 years and is embodied within the chinese spirits for decades now china has manipulated us into believing that china was just another capitalist state dissolving its ideological ties to marxism but this couldn't be any further from the truth china's intent has been to acquire as much money physical power and technological control as possible and china has gained the money china has gained the physical power and now china is controlling technology and so it's no coincidence that just in line with the 2049 plan tick tock suddenly took over the psyche of millennials and generation z and that's the genius behind all of this china is engaging in a war and we didn't even realize we were a part of it china is taking over the world economically china is taking over the world militarily secretly building up its army reserve top us military officer general mark milley provided the first official u.
